Hello JoséI am back home and i get an answer of my swedish friendHere is his answer

Unfortunately I do not know so mush about this ”Laval” engine. The company AB De Lavals Angturbiner (steam turbines) built engines between 1924 and 1951 in Stockholm. In 1924 the company took over engine manufacturing from an old company called Bergsunds Mekaniska Verkstad. From 1934 Laval made these type of engines. They were mostly sold to Swedish navy or exported to Spain, Portugal and Norway.
